Free Range

After four weeks the piglets are weaned from their mothers and put into the paddocks with the tents which they share with about 100 other pigs.

Each paddock is an acre so 100 pigs have a vast amount of space to share. The pigs will be checked every day and bedded up as and when needed. Some winters are worse than others so in recent winters there has been A LOT of bedding up to do!

Feeders are also checked every day to make sure there is plenty of feed for the pigs to help themselves to – they have unrestricted access to food and water.

The pigs will remain here for approximately 5 months before being taken to our local abattoir by a Red Tractor and Freedom Foods approved haulier.
